Conduct THIS! Review – Android & iOS

Conduct THIS! is about guiding speeding trains onto the right tracks at the right time to avoid a collision and fiery death for the train’s passengers. The graphics are adorable and each level makes you feel like you have a little slice of the world on your screen to control. Not only do you have to keep the trains from colliding, you also have to avoid any buses, expresses or people, who continue to go where they were going, with utter disregard for any railway crossing. You also have to pick up passengers wearing a certain colour and drop them off to a similarly colour coded station.

Did you grow up playing with trains? Did you adore Thomas the tank engine? Do you like watching explosions and derive pleasure out of watching things burn? If you answered yes to the last one you probably need to reevaluate your life but if you only relate to the first two, this is the game you have been waiting for all along.

The graphics in Conduct THIS! are top-notch but sadly they cause the game to lag and touch to not register which is disastrous for high-pressure situations. Another problem is the sheer abundance of ads with a few ads popping up even after paying to remove them.

The art is a refined form of polygonal design, perfect for the range of landscapes created for this game. There are sleepy towns, happening cities, and frozen winterlands. There are a number of trains which can be unlocked and these are based on real trains like the TGV and Shinkansen. Coming to the soundtrack, it is the luxurious sound of a saxophone with extra thrills when you complete each level. In conclusion, this game is quite enjoyable and a must-try if you like the traffic controller kind of games, despite the minor problems.
